This shop is too cute to be true! It is Filled with books and gifts about nature. The atmosphere captures the calmness and childlike wonder that nature itself can inspire.

The best place to buy kids gifts (of all ages) and a wonderful local community hub and owners. I only shop here for all of the kids in my life!

Chicory Naturalist is the cutest shop ever and Chris is one of the coolest people you’ll ever meet! Great place to find books and all kinds of other fun gifts for youngs and olds who love nature (and if you’re into foraging you should stop what you’re doing and go right now)!

Easily one of my favorite spots in the Hudson Valley! So many things to spark curiosity and awe. Run by very wonderful folks building community plus they host fun & engaging events. Big love to Chicory!
